The son of Isadore Burnor Born 1828 Michigan, a civil war union soldier. The husband of Susan Pettee Burnor
Death of a Centenarian
Isadore Bennoir, aged 102 years, died at the home of his daughter in Erie township Monday evening, February 17th.
Mr. Bennoir's parents came to this country from France and settled at Bay Port, Mich., where he was born on March 20, 1811. Mr. Bennoir followed farming and trapping during the early years of his life. There was no market for grain when he was a young man and furs was the main thing to barter for the needs of the pioneer. With plenty of opportunities to enter land he never embraced the chance. He volunteered in the Mexican war and served two years before he was in several battles when that country was invaded by the American army. At the age of 50 he enlisted in the civil war and served for three years. He was twice wounded, a light wound in the arm and another in the back which lodged so close to the spine that the surgeons refused to operate. He suffered no ill effects from the wound.
Mr. Benoir was married three times and was the father of 21 children, six of whom are living: John, Joseph, William, John Chevalier and the daughter with whom he resided at the time of his death, Mrs. Samuel Wightman.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the U. B Church, Rev. Mr. Fellars conducting the service. The body was laid to rest in Lakeview cemetery.
